About
The legendary Carmageddon engine roars back to life, as a spin-off for a new era of vehicular combat.
The year is 2050, and the world you know is a post‑apocalyptic wasteland.
Hordes of nightmare creatures, the Wasted, lay siege to humanity. Every night, the streets are overrun, forcing everyone to barricade themselves in their skyscraper-homes for survival.
There is just one chance to escape all this: the Carmageddon.
These deadly races promise power, prestige, and valuable prizes to the participants. Most importantly, the champion wins the right to attempt the perilous journey that leads to the spaceport beyond the mountains. The only one left, the only chance to flee this dying world.
You enter the Carmageddon as one of countless racers, equipped with little more than a rust bucket, scavenged fuel, and a makeshift weapon. You'll face off against rival gangs like the Autoscum and other rogues in a fight for survival. Each destruction race is an opportunity to win parts and upgrades, a step towards the ultimate escape.
As the night descends, the Wasted take the streets, and you with them.
The original Carmageddon spirit of vehicular mayhem has been refined and redesigned. We looked at the past and the present to create a visceral, fast and accessible form of combat racing.
• 15 upgradeable vehicles – FWD, RWD & AWD, each with unique weight and suspension
• Metal‑on‑metal car combat – crash, shove, boost and side‑bash rivals
• 13 weapon classes – from shotguns to railguns, all fully upgradable
• 80+ perks – craft outrageous synergies for destruction racing supremacy
• Dynamic weather & day‑night cycle – rain slicks the tarmac, fog shrouds ambushes
• Elite & Boss events – colossal war‑rigs, corrupted Enforcers, and endless zombie hordes
• Extensive visual damage model - windshields, hood, doors, bumpers and trunk lid will bend, crumple, hang and detach.
Every Campaign run offers a unique journey through a randomly generated graph.
Win Events and smash opponents to gain Credits. Maneuvers such as killing Wasteds, drifts, jumps, and flicks also grant rewards.
Strategically plan your route so you can reach Shops. In these safe havens you can repair your car, swap weapons, or install one of the 80+ unlockable perks.
Adapt to the dynamically increasing difficulty and conquer elite events and bosses.
With branching paths, varied objectives, and ever-changing time-of-day and weather conditions, no two runs are the same.
But the Carmageddon ain’t over when your vehicle is wrecked. Another driver will step up, and the challenge will resume anew, in a typical roguelite loop. Earn Beatcoins to unlock permanent bonuses and new content between runs in the Black Market. Find synergies between these elements to create the ultimate killing machine: the Carmageddon never ends
The Carmageddon hosts a diverse assembly of marauders, rejects, and lowlifes. Some prefer to rush in front of the pack. Others will chase you and try to bash you out of the way. Some will wait for the chance to unload their weapons into your car. Some are more skilled or better prepared than others. You may recognize some familiar names in the crowd.
Corrupt police forces known as the Enforcers impose their brutal rules on those spared from mutation. The Enforcers will force you off the road to strip your car for spare parts and ammo, if you let them.
Each area of the city is controlled by a particularly fierce opponent, commonly known as “the Boss”. These are the biggest, baddest, fastest, more armed vehicles that you can find. The rules of the Carmageddon demand that you beat each Boss before advancing to the next stage.
Every race is a brutal test of skill, demanding you master driving, melee, and ranged attacks against a diverse and unpredictable roster of foes. To do so, you must work on your car, find upgrades and weapons that combine well together, and consistently perform behind the wheel.
The Third World War and a series of devastating natural disasters left Earth in ruins. Amidst the chaos, a food supplement called MiVis was introduced to address food shortages, and became a ubiquitous part of daily life.
However, long-term consumption of MiVis led to a horrific cellular mutation, transforming people into Wasted - monstrous, empty husks consumed by the supplement's side effects.
Now, they have become a mass of unsentient, super-aggressive beings that threaten survivors as soon as the sun starts to set.
A lone Wasted is no match for your chariot of fury. Things start to heat up when more Wasteds show up. Boost into the hordes of humanoid husks swarming the track, parting the waves of Wasted like a Moses on wheels! But be careful not to get stuck in the high tide: too many Wasteds will surround your car and smash it to bits with the remains of their raw hands.
And then there are Special Wasteds… horrible supermutations of the Wasted, morphed into something even less human.
They may explode, shoot you from a distance, lunge at your car, or produce even nastier surprises.
They pose a real danger and tend to show up late at night.
And then, there’s the ultimate abomination. A creature whispered about, rarely seen; the monster that guards the only mountain pass towards salvation, and your final challenge.

Carmageddon finally got what it needed, ballistic weapons and racing. I love that they did that. This being said this game seems to be developed by some other company that has no previous carmageddon games under its belt. The game is fun, it's roguelite this time. but the driving feels mediocre, abd the game is very denminding performace-wise because the optimization is poor for lower end PCs. It is what it is, but it's not a bad game, I got pretty addicted to it despite all its flaws. If you are a fan of Carmageddon - recommended!
This game cannot run a race without locking up. Hit too many wasted, go to fast, blow up another vehicle, and just playing the game causes it to lock up. This game is not optimized for play. Most lockups last for up to 15 secs and sometimes it crashes just after. There could be a fun game here, but I haven't found it.
Un Rogue lite explosif avec des voitures venues de l'enfer... On améliore son véhicule, ses armes et ses compétences... puis on doit aller le plus loin possible. Attention à la mort, c'est retour à zéro (à part les nouvelles compétences et armes nouvellement débloquées qui seront désormais sélectionnable). Un bon défouloir !
Pretty fun game with a decently novel concept! Only real gripe is that $40 seems a bit steep considering the game's content, but said content is honestly more than enjoyable. I'd say it is definitely worth a shot, but would not blame anyone for waiting for it to go on sale first.
Better than the original! One of the better releases of 2026 by my reckoning!
Let me tell you how much joy this game just give me right now... I bought this game with 2 other games, I have very VERY particular tastes in video games and it is RARE nowadays that a "random" game is enough fun for me to play more than an hour or two... Just for the story, I'm 26, I have multiple mental illness including severe depression and it has been a long time i appreciated a game, even games I LOVED in the past are not enjoyable anymore due to the amount of time I spend playing. I started gaming on PS1 and Windows XP and the best era for me was PS2. Best memories ever. I saw this game while searching for new games to play and from the thousands of games i saw, this stand out with two other games as i said. I already heard about Camageddon before, maybe 20 years ago, but never played any Carmageddon games ever... Im not a fan of the Zombie apocalypse settings for a car game even if i like zombies games... I also like Death Race film ... So yesterday I said, let's try it ! I started the game, Set up everything and jump on my first race... I was shocked ! "What is that stupid handling !!! This is so dumb !" I said... In fact the first race was on the Circle shaped circuit wich is certainly the worst to start the game honnestly ^^. I said "No way this game is dumb, it is impossible that a racing game handling be so bad !"... I continued to play, I get used to the handling after 3 races i think and then i started to understand how everything work... starting my fouth race, something happend... The game started to freeze for a VERY VERY long tim, like 30 seconds or more maybe, at this point i was just upset... I thought i wasgoing to stop playing and never come back to it... But after waiting a little bit, the game came back to life, the problem disappeard for a few races and I anderstood after looking at Community Hub that it was a known problem. It came back again sometimes but I managed to find a fix, i just put the game in pause and wait for everything to calm down. After 3 hours of playing, i now have an amazing sense of joy, I have fun, it is like going back to my childhood, with my Playstation 2 games, a time were games were just games ! I feel so good playing it ! I know now that I will spend a lot of time playing it, it change my state of mind and help me escape my illness for a moment ! It has it's problems of course but overall it is a great game, I love it.
Finally, a vehicle combat game of absolute destruction. No wasting time with talking or story, just play and destroy. The driving is fun, the combat is insane and the zombies are roadkill. The speed is ludicrous (ludicrous speed). The hazards are explosive and destructive as they should. The bosses are dangerous and the opponents are idiots, as they should be. The vehicles are creative and the weapons are brutal. No pity or mercy. Complete vehicle armageddon. ALL HAIL CARMAGEDDON.
В цілому непогана, але дуже коротка гра. Коротка бо концепт роуга тут не докурчений. Все що рандомізується - список предметів в магазині. Майже все інше - попередньо вирішино. Тому в гри не дуже високий рівень реграбельності. Ще мінусами є: - Дуже поганий баланс зброї - Дуже легкі боси, особливо останній - Всі суперники грають в "резинку", що б ти занадто їх не обігнав, але і занадто не відставав З плюсів: в це просто весело грати. Весело давити зомбаків, підстрілювати суперників з гармати, їздити по стінах. Брав зі знижкою тому не шкодую. Але більше ніж на 30 годин в цій грі мало хто залишиться
Fun game, wish it had multiplayer or coop.
pc way over built n it had 2 times in 30 mins it went to 1 fps n took 20 sec to come back and not lockup it soft locking on 2nd race red flag then the upgrades u cant really change much and u cant re race what u just ran to even see if u can do better u cant swap guns u buy its junk not fun tracks are easy killing is easy guess its why u cant have more than 1 shot per ammo pickup lol i see why rather pull the old twisted metal 3 out 500 times better
